Isaiah 29

It took me about 4 minutes to read this chapter. Verse 16 presents a theme that is common in Isaiah's preaching. Too often we try to reverse our position with God; so that we are the one obeyed and God serves us. Isaiah presents that messaage in verse 16 by using three brief word pictures; a lump of clay, book, and a home cooked meal. The purpose of all three of these objects is to honor and please the one who made them. That is the same purpose we have; to honor and please our God in all that we do.
